J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci’s big-time sci-fi show Fringe has added two new castmembers: The Wire star Lance Reddick and Aussie John Noble (“The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”), will be playing a FBI agent and a mad scientist, respectively.
More:
The two-hour pilot, being directed by Alex Graves, centers on a young female FBI agent who is forced to confront the spread of unexplained phenomena and work with Dr. Walter Bishop (Noble), an institutionalized scientist whose work might be at the center of the coming storm.
Reddick will play Phillip Broyles, a special agent for Homeland Security who heads the special Fringe division, established to investigate a series of terrorist/paranormal events.
Fringe will premiere on the FOX network.
